That should be easy for someone who can draw so well. Yet Jip's thoughts keep wandering. To the new boy in class, to beetles and fireflies, to twilight dreaming, to the party next Friday, and especially to the boy who changed Jip's world once and for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLudwig Volbeda writes as he draws: sensitively, intimately, and with striking observations and metaphors that gradually give the reader insight into Jip's innermost thoughts. What results is a magnificent self-portrait in words (and line art) and one of the more exquisite queer coming-of-age stories in years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Levine Querido","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58397004267601,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/5091\/3873\/files\/LQ_SelfPortrait_CVR_9781646145775.jpg?v=1767736685","url":"https:\/\/www.levinequerido.com\/products\/self-portrait","provider":"Levine Querido","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
